Commercial bathroom flooring
I am going to be vague here...
But..
You know when you go to a hotel, they sometimes have wet bathrooms with a sligtly glittery grippy lino type material used on the floor... the material
is radiused up against the wall and continues up the wall about a foot usually..
They use it in some commercial kitchens etc..
Basically.. does anyone know how these floorings are fitted and how much they are?
It would make quite a good flooring in a camping van type thing for mucky outdoorsy people.... better than just gluing a lino to the floor perhaps...

Thats what I've got in the Fury. I got a big off-cut for free so can't give a price idea. I can't remember the name of the stuff but
I've still got a sample board at work. I'll post the name tommorow.
They stick it down and use heat guns to shape it.

Hmmm interesting... Think it would be a reall pain to mould it around the contours of the vans floor...

cut it into the shapes that you want and then weld it with a hot air gun and filler rods.
you'd probably have to ply the floor first and any other awkward bits .
you can also get rubber corner trim thats about 4inches x .5inch that sticks on, just use the heat gun to soften it up a bit

I used to work for Altro floors, world leaders in this sort of stuff, i still have some contacts there too. Used to make all sorts for bare foot areas
around swimming pools, glittery stuff (ali oxide non slip surface) let me know what colour and how much you need and i ould maybe pull in a favour for
you

Its heavy stuff by the way and easier to work with when its warm.

I have fitted it to my bathroom and kitchen and to be honest - welding the joints is only needed in commercial situations, silicone in the joins works
fine for most applications.
